Real Reggae Riddim (2012) – Payday Music

Payday Music’s Real Reggae Riddim arrived in 2012 as a 15-track reggae juggling that mixes roots-minded singers with bigger dancehall names. The set pulls in Capleton, Fantan Mojah, Gappy Ranks, Lutan Fyah, Mavado, Raine Seville, Bounty Killer, and Wayne Marshall, with standout cuts like Who Can I Trust, Tek It To The Heights, Cheating Games, and Be On The Alert. Austin “PayDay” Green shaped it as the label’s first official release of the year, and the project leans into a strong generational mix rather than one single style. Beres Brown’s Who Can I Trust and Natalie Storm’s I Ain’t Missing You add a softer edge to a riddim that still keeps a serious reggae core.
